You're absolutely right: that's an embarrassing mistake. Mea culpa.

So then, what's the problem with FFM in Gnome 3? Why didn't it work/why does it need improvement?

There's a few cases where the wrong window gets focus. Other than that, it's fairly usable.

Well, turning it on is less than intuitive: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/gnome-3-focus-follows-mo...

And occasionally the highlight will be on one window while the keyboard input goes to another. This is not a big deal, just move the mouse. Apparently this is fixed in 3.2.

Overall, like you say, FFM in Gnome 3 works.

I use FFM exclusively under GNOME 3. As far as I can tell, it works just fine; it's one thing that's not on my list of gripes.

You're thinking of the global application menu. http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/Features/Applicatio... It's true, if you have to cross another window when moving to the app menu, you're boned.

No big deal, the app menu is not really used in 3.0.
